Raising mules from the dead (or, that's one stinky burro!)

[abbithedog]

Well, I hadn't gotten a chance to play in about 3 weeks due to work taking up too much time, so I figured my one mule that hadn't been permed would be dead and gone.

So I log on, and sure enough, see "character expired" under her poor name. Alas, would Stopdieingdammit not be able to fulfil her muling destiny?

So, ever the optimistic one, I go ahead and log on as her and try to join a game, interested to see what would happen. Sure enough, she joins! So I leave and create a game.....and she can! When I exit back out to the character screen, she now has 10 days left.

So what happened? Does the "character expired" problem no longer exist? A glitch? Is there some leeway in this?

The time left before expiration is based off of your computer's clock. If you change the date on your computer, the time left on the character screen will also change. So B-net doesn't actually wipe them from existence at the exact moment that it says they expire.

You must have gotten very lucky. I'm not sure how long they actually leave them around, but I've lost a few before to inactivity.

Yeah, but we all know what happens when you raise the dead!
